holidays ..... home again

Holidays are great

but

coming home again is good too !

(Though I had to go to the dentist right away !

On the boat trip to Rotterdam,

I had a lovely conversation with a young man from Pittsburg

who cycled with his parents through Holland ...

it made me forget about the dentist,

though I'll have to go there again on Friday  :-( ... )

We had two weeks together with daughter's little family

in a holiday cottage in a wooded area in the east of the country

(we all are more "wood" than "beach" people)

The weather wasn't great all the time but that doesn't matter much for kids

playing outside with new friends, a swimming pool, an air cushion to hop around, 

and a box full of LEGO

We also visited the lovely city of Deventer

historic buildings

playing on the "Brink" (town square)

There were still some days with worries about the baby :

cramps are still an issue

(now we think it might be hidden reflux)

but there were góód times too !!!

Being on the east side of the country gave me the opportunity

to make arrangements to visit my blog-felting-friend Gabi !

It was soooooo much fun to see each other in real-life !

We chatted a lot, had "Kaffee und Kuchen",

and I bought this lovely little cat

(I already had a crush on her cats since I saw them in her shop)

Thanks again Gabi for the lovely day !

Ooooo ... and post number 200 ! So many already ?
